How Can Jaw Pain After Wisdom Tooth Extraction Be Treated?

had an impacted wisdom tooth removed 20 days ago and the right side of my tongue feels burnt/numb and I can not taste food. I still cant open my mouth all the way, there is a bump where they removed it (not sure if thats from the bone regrowth) my jaw hurt, I have an ear ache and my throat hurts.. my dentist said its healing great and can take 2 months to completely heal... but I feel like this is not normal..

According to your complain you have problem of tongue numbness after wisdom tooth extraction that may be because of nerve injury.

You are still feeling pain that may be because of infection of socket area.Dry socket cause pain after wisdom tooth extraction. Proper irrigation of socket and idoform paste is helpful.
